Tegetthoff Statue

Commemorate Tegetthoff’s Victory in the Battle of Lissa

The Tegettoff Statue is located at the Praterstern, and was created by architect Carl Hanseauer and sculptor Carl Kundmann to represent and honor Baron Wilhem Tegetthoff's stunning victory in the Battle of Lissa in 1866. Visitors and locals admire this huge monument for its history, as well as its eleven-meter tall column, topped by a three-and-a-half likeness of the Baron, and surrounded below by majestic horses, rearing five meters above ground level.
